Blind Item #6

This former B list mostly movie actress was set to hit it big a few years back. She stumbled and then righted herself with some more movies but now appears to have become even more worse off than she was previously. When you see the woman coming out of the Starbucks bathroom who just used their sink as a shower like she does everyday, you will probably say, "You were so good in_______ (HUGE box office hit). What happened?"

Mena Suvari?

Whats that girl that was on the roller skates in Boogie Nights?

Heather Graham?

Anonymous said...

this is sad, if acting doesn't pan out can't these actresses go back to school and get a career or something? It's not all drugs, prostituting or film careers out there!

mistang said...

I think Boogie Nights was too long ago. (1997) This sounds more recent. Heather dropped off sooner than that. Unless you're referring to her spot in The Hangover.

auntliddy said...

Agree, sad.

The Real Dragon said...

Heather grahams In the mere hangover 3 . Just saw the trailer

Anonymous said...

Weren't they all the next big thing when they first appeared on the scene? doesn't this description cast too wide of a net?

slowflea said...

Tara Reid?

blah blah said...

more worse

Unknown said...

What's the name of the girl who played the best friend in American Pie? Natasha something. She seems like she gets into DEEEEEEP odd behavior.

Sugar said...

Natasha Lyone i think erika

figgy said...

Yes, I too think it's Natasha Lyonne (sp?). Because what Enty's describing is someone who's homeless, which she has been at least once previously. She's mentally ill, poor woman. :-(

Jessica said...

Heather Graham - thank you! That's who I was thinking of. I knew there was a reason too.

Heather Graham I'll buy a Venti

mistang said...

Oh yeah I remember hearing sad stories about Natasha Lyonne's behavior. I thought she had gotten better, though. She looked healthy at the American Reunion showing.

figgy said...

BUT Natasha is supposed to be in an upcoming tv show loosely based on her life:

"The untitled comedy revolves around Stella (Lyonne), who is fresh out of rehab and committed to starting a new life as a sober, responsible adult and is forced to move in with her conservative brother and young family."

Doesn't sound funny to me...?

Lori Petty doesn't have any work listed on IMDB since 2010.

MontanaMarriott said...

Natasha Lyonne was in a video just recently that Enty posted. I want to say it was a video for a fashion line or something, I cannot recall for the life of me what it was, damn senior moments.

MontanaMarriott said...

Found it, it was the Bon Qui Qui with Simon Doonan video and she looked fine

Oh...Mena Suvari is a great guess.

AKM said...

Heather may not be everywhere anymore, but I don't think she's destitute. Natasha was for a while due to MI and substance abuse, but she's been doing well lately from what I've read. Her turn on SVU was decent, too. (And good for her in general; I like her.)

Mena makes the most sense of the guesses listed so far, I think.

Topper Madison said...

I think Heather Graham has pretty much maintained her B-list status for a long time. I remember first seeing her in "Six Degrees of Separation" back in 1993, and according to IMDB, she'd already been working for a decade before that. This sounds like someone younger with a shorter career span.

ljsmed said...

I may be wrong here, but I think Mena grew up in Charleston, SC. I think she went to the same girls school as the older Barbara Bush in Charleston. I'm thinking she can't be destitute, unless she has been cut-off, or her parents have no more money...

crh in stl said...

Mena is always engaged, married, divorced, or something... if she was that bad off, you'd think she'd stick around longer. Then again, maybe all her failed relationships drained her bank accounts. Who knows?

Kelly said...

I think Heather does pretty good. Not her. Mena too. Natasha wasn't really in a HUGE hit was she? Ahh, I got nothing else. Sorry.

Jules said...

Heather Graham lives in a swanky apartment on Union Square: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/01/heather-grahams-apartment-caught-on-fire.html
Definitely not her.

Sherry said...

Montana..Love that Bon QQ skit!

What about the OTEHR girl from American Beauty. Her dad was/is a total creep and that may 'splain most of her problem.

Thora Birch.

Princess Nobody said...

Amy Smart

Brady88 said...

Zach Braff did an AMA on Reddit 2day, and he mentioned that Heather Graham lived above him but that she recently had a small apt fire. If you're living above JD and all his scrubs money you're doing alright.

1Jazzimom said...

Debra Winger?

EGB said...

Lori Petty is an excellent guess. I feel like I read (here?) about her having trauma in her life and some mental health issues?
Natasha Lyone is clean and sober and back on her game right now, so don't think it is her.

Anna said...

I see Heather Graham in New York socialite photos and magazines, at parties with the rich and powerful. It would appear she lives the socialite life and just dabbles in movies these days - enough to keep the financiers, publishers and their wives impressed - but not enough to look as if she's desperate for work. It's a balance.

Mel said...

Lori Petty sounds right.

Izzie said...

Lori Petty gives me the sads. I'm a huge Jennifer Lawrence fan & a friend recommended "The Poker House" as one of her early movies - apparently, it's based on her younger years. Kit Keller needs a break!!

Kelly said...

Right? Poor Kit.

I alway see Heather in Williamsburg NYC all the time and she looks like everyone else. Although the style in the burg is homeless chic so maybe again..... No, she looks good.

Natasha was mess for awhile in the late 2000s. She looked like one of the runaway gutter punk kids that hangs around the East Village. I remember over hearing her telling Clea Duvall of Argo fame at Starbucks about her arrest in Florida (I think). She used to worry me but she seemed a lot better when I saw her the last time. Hope it is not her she seemed like lost soul but a good one.

beth said...

I don't think anyone ever thought Natasha was destined for solid B list, Thora Birch on the other hand was in American Beauty and Ghost World in a 2 year span and now has only been in an indie, a TV movie and one other movie (not yet released?) since 2009...

Flora Goforth said...

Natasha has been working since she was on PeeWee's Playhouse. She has never been the next big thing. She was better than good in the Slums of Beverly Hills and that is about it for her. And no one would be surprised to she her giving herself a soldiers bath in a Starbucks.

Mango said...

My first thought was Natasha Lynonne, but according to IMDB she has 4 movies in post production.

leemonada76 said...

Taryn Manning.

Lelaina Pierce said...

@ljsmed - Yep, Ashley Hall. She was neighbors with my old boss

I can't see it being Mena or Heather...? They're both working.

BrainyAngel said...

I like the Taryn Manning guess. She seems like a total drug mess to me. She was big after 8-Mile & Hustle & Flow (these roles may be whey she seems like a total drug mess to me), but lately she's been doing direct-to-video, TV eps, and a SyFy movie (career shudder).

anon said...

I would say Taryn Manning - in a huge Oscar nominated hit or Thora Birch
